LEGO SDCC 2023 exclusive scavenger hunt prizes revealed

The LEGO Group is challenging SDCC 2023 attendees to a convention-wide scavenger hunt, with some cool (and exclusive) prizes up for grabs.

Alongside showing off (and selling) more than 50 new and unreleased sets, offering photo opportunities and allowing attendees to get hands-on with bricks, the LEGO booth at San Diego Comic-Con is home to a Blockbuster Video-themed scavenger hunt. And while there are no exclusive sets or minifigures at this year’s event (beyond a single torso), there are some unique goodies available to successful scavengers.

Instagram user Andrew Kanei has shared an image of everything they managed to get their hands on at the LEGO booth, which includes: 6385893 LEGO MASTERS Gift, a yellow (or perhaps gold) 2×4 brick keychain, Brickbuster Video membership card, Brickbuster Video VHS case and four exclusive LEGO pins. Among those are Captain America, Sonic the Hedgehog, a Star Wars Endor speeder bike and the Brickbuster Video logo.

According to FBTB, there are three different ways to get your hands on the goods. The first is to find the Brickbuster Video VHS case, 25 of which are apparently hidden outside the convention centre in the Gaslamp Quarter – or were on Thursday. For the exact details of this method, which sounds like the only way to get everything the LEGO Group is giving away, it’s probably worth checking with the LEGO booth on-site.

The second method involves posing with one of the brick-built ‘cardboard’ standees at the LEGO booth and posting a photo on social media. There are three different statues dotted around the booth, including a two-dimensional Captain America, a three-dimensional Sonic the Hedgehog and a forced-perspective LEGO Star Wars Endor speeder bike chase.

If you stand between the two separate speeder bike builds – which are on different planes – you’ll look like you’re being pursued by Imperial Scout Troopers. It’s a cool concept for a photo opp, and the reward for taking part (and sharing the results across social media) is one of the four exclusive metal pins. You’ll have to return each day to get your hands on every pin, if you’re doing it this way round.

The third – and according to FBTB, unverified – means of winning prizes is to show your original Blockbuster membership card. If you’re still carrying it round for… reasons, you can flash it to the folks at the LEGO booth and they’ll give you a full set of exclusive pins. We’d be surprised if anyone was actually able to test this one out, though.

The convention runs through July 23, and has already seen the reveal of multiple new LEGO Star Wars and Sonic the Hedgehog sets, a trailer for the second season of the LEGO DREAMZzz TV show, and confirmation of a second season of LEGO NINJAGO: Dragons Rising in 2024.
